Yangshou - tomb sweeping festival

Going by the amount of firecrackers, there's a lot of tombs to be swept in this part of the world. From everywhere you would hear them and sometimes, the big ones, you'd be lucky to see.

From the car you could see families scrambling up the hillside to the round rock tombs, covered in red firecracker paper and bright plastic flowers. 

So lucky to have spent so much time in this part of China.

Baiyun Shan

Baiyun Mountain - unless it is a picture perfect day, forget about the views of the city and focus on the view around up above. Beautiful trees and wishes to discover all around.

You can take the metro and walk, but it's easier to take a taxi or didi to the chairlift entrance and buy a ticket up and down. Word of warning, go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
